Presumable hardware specs is my best guess. But I agree that it technically is 9th gen

If we use the term generation as a way to organize the successive hardware releases of companies, then the NX is a 9th gen console.

If we use the term generation as a way to talk about machines with similar specs, then the NX is a 8th gen console.

I'm more inclined to used the first one and say the NX is a 9th gen machine, but considering all the changes the console market is suffering, I think the term will go bust sooner than later.

It is a bit of a weird situation to launch a console mid gen of course. Since the PS4 and Xone are really picking up steam now till 2019. Due to the hardware gap it's getting more weird all together so it's probably good the therm will burst.
